Agreed with caveat.

Public schools are not "special places." Public school teachers hold not "special status." Both exist to provide a taxpayer-paid service. There is no "shared parenting" happening, and schools and teachers should be held to objective standards of performance - just like any other government service or employee- and that evaluation criteria and measurement occur to value the performance.
